Bond Denied for Suspect in Brutal Videotaped Atlanta Gay Bashing

At today's hearing, prosecutors described 18-year-old Christopher Cain as one of the "main aggressors" of the infamous attack who "stomped White after he was punched and kicked" to the ground, reports The GA Voice.

Judge T. Jackson Bedford denied bond for Cain, saying Cain was a danger to the community. It was also noted that Cain was on five-year probation before the Feb. 4 attack on Brandon White for burglary. Cain was arrested Feb. 11 and charged with aggravated assault and robbery. Three others have also been charged in the assault.

Cain, wearing a pale blue Fulton County jail uniform, a long gray sleeve sweatshirt under the shirt, was shackled at the wrists and ankles. He did not speak during the approximate 15 minute hearing.

The Fulton Assistant District Attorney described the attack on White in southwest Atlanta in the Pittsburgh community as a "hate crime." ... "Brandon was subjected to a beat down," said the assistant district attorney. "He was literally ambushed with hands and fists and stomped to the ground. The state can't charge this as a hate crime, but this is clearly a hate crime," the assistant DA said.

The violent video of the February 4 attack quickly went viral across the internet. The 20-year-old White could be seen leaving a store and ambushed by three young men. White's cell phone was stolen in the robbery/beating.

Three others have been charged in the assault. Nineteen-year-old Dorian Moragne surrendered on February 17. Seventeen-year-old Darael Damare Williams surrendered to Pennsylvania authorities on February 23. And 24-year-old Javaris Bradford was indicted by a grand jury in late March. All face charges of aggravated assault and robbery.
